This was perfect, the kids loved it, and so did the parents. What a wonderful collection of stuff, a proper trip down memory lane and great fun.

Visited today with my 2 granddaughters (8 and 5) who loved the model train layouts, spotting the cows and sheep in the fields and pressing the buttons to work the trains. But the most memorable part of the visit was meeting Father Christmas and his hard working elves. The girls were captivated by the elves workshop and their meeting with Father Christmas was so special, I think they will remember it for many years (I know I will). Thank you so much to all involved in making this a magical experience for us all.

We visited here whilst staying in the area late last year. Rather stumbled upon it whilst exploring the town. Seemed a bit quiet was unsure if it were even open at first. However no sooner had we reached the desk and we were greeted warmly. I’m not sure if it’s a regular occurrence but we were assisted almost the entire way round, by a chap with immense friendliness and enthusiasm for the place. Certainly a highlight.

Situated in the Clock House on the quayside at Ramsgate Harbour, Ramsgate Maritime Museum focuses strongly on Ramsgate and its immediate environs, with a brief introduction to the rest of the region's maritime past. Set in the heart of the country's only Royal Harbour, the Museum building is an exhibit in its own right, being the product of some of the most eminent civil engineers and architects of the early 19th century. The Clock House is also the site of the unique Ramsgate Meridian - from which our own particular Mean Time - 5 mins 41 secs ahead of Greenwich- was calculated! There are four galleries of exhibits telling the maritime history of the area with permanent displays on the development of the Harbour, Navigation, Fishing, Lifeboats and Shipwrecks. A fifth area, the Gallery Room, is now an exhibition space which is host to ever changing displays and events, including visiting local artists at work. Please see the homepage for information on current and forthcoming exhibitions. The nearby Goodwin Sands have yielded an important collection of artefacts from the Great Storm Wrecks, principally from the wreck of Stirling Castle (a 70 gun, 3rd rate, Man of War). Weapons, utensils and ship's gear provide a chilling insight into life and death aboard a British Warship in 1703.
